The garments made from Natural materials and processed in traditional technologies often benefit from hand washing preventing potential damage that could arise from machine washing. The block printing technique Is a labour intensive process That gives unique patterns with each impression. The fabrics which are printed through hand block printing technique do have lesser penetration of colour as compared to The screen printed or rotary printed.

Separate the alike colours clothes to wash together.
To avoid bleeding & fading we recommend for first few washes, soaking the clothes in cold water with salt for 30 minutes.
2. Washing-
Hand wash recommended with cold water. Do not keep them soaked for longer than 5 minutes.
Use non-enzyme/non-biological washing powder or liquid.
Do not wring and or bleach.
Gently run under fresh cold water to remove detergent.

Pull to shape and dry inside-out in shade.
We recommend airing regularly outside on a sunny day ( not under sunlight) to refresh and only washing when necessary.
